fsadm — utility to resize or check filesystem on a device
Synopsis
fsadm [options] check device
fsadm [options] resize device [new_size]
Description
fsadm utility checks or resizes the filesystem on a device. It tries to use the same API for ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.
Options
- -e|--ext-offline
Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.
- -f|--force
Bypass some sanity checks.
- -h|--help
Display the help text.
- -n|--dry-run
Print commands without running them.
- -v|--verbose
Be more verbose.
- -y|--yes
Answer "yes" at any prompts.
- -c|--cryptresize
Resize dm-crypt mapping together with filesystem detected on the device. The dm-crypt device must be recognizable by cryptsetup(8).
new_size[B|K|M|G|T|P|E]
Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem, or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024). If new_size is not supplied, the whole device is used.
Diagnostics
On successful completion, the status code is 0. A status code of 2 indicates the operation was interrupted by the user. A status code of 3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online fsck(8). A status code of 1 is used for other failures.
Examples
Resize the filesystem on logical volume /dev/vg/test to 1000 megabytes. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize. All [y/n] questions will be answered 'y'.
Environment Variables
- TMPDIR
The temporary directory name for mount points. Defaults to "/tmp".
- DM_DEV_DIR
The device directory name. Defaults to "/dev" and must be an absolute path.
